Surrender as Recognition of God's Reality

So then why do we want to go and say it should be like this and you should be like this? Somewhere, the process of surrender is also a process of recognition of who he really is. Because in that recognition of who and what he really is, it is impossible to not surrender to him. So our lack of faith is our lack of surrender; it is a lack of true recognition of who he really is. If he knows my every single move, if he knows my every single desire, if he knows where I am in my journey, if he knows everything about me, if he loves me more than imaginable, if we are all pieces of his heart, if he's the all-powerful, all-knowing, and time is nothing but a plaything for him, and he has gifted us with his very presence in our heart—so only in the absence of the forgetting of this recognition can we ever have a concern, isn't it?

So this is very good. Thank you, thank you for sharing that. So on one hand is the most supremely intelligent, most loving being. On the other end is the most foolish little nobody. So they are sitting in front of you; who would you ask your questions of? So what do most of us do most of the time? When we say we trust in ourselves, we are not talking about the higher self; we are talking about our mind, which is a primitive, tiny instrument. And we force and force. You know what worry is? Worry is just forcing our mind beyond its capacity. So it's like that's what stress is, no? The mind, poor thing, just wants to do A, B, C, and we go to it for planning about the future and the meaning of life and how to lead a true life, you see. So then it is beyond its capacity.
